Corsair Readies Hydro H70 CPU Water Cooler
Corsair is developing a new pre-assembled CPU water cooling kit after facing some market success with the Hydro H50. The new kit, called Hydro H70, features a more optimized coolant flow design, an improved CPU base made of copper, and a denser radiator. It makes use of two 120 mm fans on either sides of the radiator, pushing at 1,600 rpm, and pulling at 2,000 rpm. The design increases the cooler's TDP capacity, closer to elaborate water cooling loops, potentially increasing the processor's overclocking headroom. The Hydro H70 is compatible with all current CPU socket types, including LGA1366, LGA1156, AM3/AM2(+), and LGA775. UK-based online store Scan.co.uk has these up for pre-order at £65.70 (£77.20 incl. VAT). It is indicated that Corsair will officially release these next week.

Looks like a pretty sweet cooler imo.
Check out its FPI, would definitely take advantage of high pressure fans. I wouldnt slap a 'silent' fan in those to get the most out of it.
I agree about the heatpipes, I also have a TRUE years old and it still works the same.
From personal experience I have a amd heatpipe cooler on a s939 I built 3 years ago and its still chugging along@2.5ghz. As well as the largest heatpipe cooler I have seen in a bit the coolermaster v10 has never let me down and gave better temps than the h50 in push/pull could. In fact I could keep up with much larger homebuilt loops in clocks and temps on my x6 with a $10 mod.

While the coolers may not die, they are completely inadequate. NO big deal, there's lots of options out there.
But, with socket placement, and cooler clearance, the H50 stood out, as it occupies very little space around the socket.
The H70 might provide that extra bit of capacity that might let me clock my cpu 24/7, year-round. I'm confident enough that it will, that I've ordered one.
I should be able to post results soon.
To the point, it was so bad back in 9800pro/sktA 2500+ non-mobiles, overheating and crash in 3D is the norm. Then we got a shuttle, and that I.C.E. cooler did a real good job, making gaming OK(one of the first heatpipecoolers I remember). Then got a second box...ugh...forget running both.
The current rig I've got now is the closest I've been to without water is a long time, not counting a TRUE that needed a 98CFM fan on it to stay cool enough overclocked.
There's a reason Dell, HP, and Even Apple tend to watercool thier high-end rigs...situations like mine.
Seriously...4 people is enough to overheat a room in summer in less than 30 minutes. In the dead of winter, minus 30 temps, having people over and I gotta open a window. All 6 of my family members cannot stay in the same room and be comfortable.
Keep that in mind. Temps range from -35c to +35c here(sometimes more). the cold temps means my house has far more insulation, and houses are built to retain heat, not give them off.
I live in a far different climate, so like everything else, nothing is comparable.
